Ah, didn't know that. I thought it was the high fuel consumption that was the main downside to the RX-8, and that was what killed it at the dealers.
You combine naturally high fuel consumption with a free-revving engine (and a stick!), and the unknowledgable consumer, and there's going to be some complaints re fuel cost (especially here in Canada).
You may not believe it, but what killed it for me was a back seat that didn't fold down. That's all! Gotta have that, especially with such a tiny trunk, I'm always toting medium-size crap around.
Have a '13 Mustang now. It is a decently free-revving engine, but you don't need to get it "up there" like with a rotary, and with a stick I'm not unhappy at all. Never thought I'd ever own a Mustang. Cheaply made IMO, but works much better than it looks/seems like it would. They actually have got a lot of their shit together in many ways, spruce up the interiors to '80s European standards, and they should make some money...
